Abstract
Biosurfactants contain various kinds of compounds and have complex structures because they are derived from microorganisms. Sophorolipids (SLs) are biosurfactants that are being commercialized. However, there are issues with fermentation technology and interface science due to the presence of many derivatives, which has become a bottleneck for the commercial expansion of SLs. This review addresses this issue. First, SL derivatives are described, including acid, lactone, bola, and glyceride forms. Then, the yeasts that produce various SL derivatives are described. Next, methods for measuring SL concentrations and component ratios are described, including high-performance liquid chromatography with methanol. Finally, their applications in toiletries, cosmetics, medicine, livestock, agriculture, and the environment are described, and we discuss the importance of measuring SL concentrations and derivative ratios as technical challenges to revitalize the SL market.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of the American Oil Chemists’ Society (JAOCS) is an international peer-reviewed journal that publishes significant original scientific research and technological advances on fats, oils, oilseed proteins, and related materials through original research articles, invited reviews, short communications, and letters to the editor. We seek to publish reports that will significantly advance scientific understanding through hypothesis driven research, innovations, and important new information pertaining to analysis, properties, processing, products, and applications of these food and industrial resources. Breakthroughs in food science and technology, biotechnology (including genomics, biomechanisms, biocatalysis and bioprocessing), and industrial products and applications are particularly appropriate.
JAOCS also considers reports on the lipid composition of new, unique, and traditional sources of lipids that definitively address a research hypothesis and advances scientific understanding. However, the genus and species of the source must be verified by appropriate means of classification. In addition, the GPS location of the harvested materials and seed or vegetative samples should be deposited in an accredited germplasm repository. Compositional data suitable for Original Research Articles must embody replicated estimate of tissue constituents, such as oil, protein, carbohydrate, fatty acid, phospholipid, tocopherol, sterol, and carotenoid compositions. Other components unique to the specific plant or animal source may be reported. Furthermore, lipid composition papers should incorporate elements of yeartoyear, environmental, and/ or cultivar variations through use of appropriate statistical analyses.
